look at his room. is there something making a noise or are lights making shadows? if you confirm, no

movement or disturbance, in his room, then get tough. put him to bed, with his favorite stuffed animal, at

the same time, every night, and tell him, he will stay in bed, even if he does not sleep.

I had a problem when I was younger, I don't think you can solve it right away. I had to sleep next to my brother every night until i was around 15. You might need to get professional help because the only thing that helped me out.
